Glen served in the Army Air Corps for two years during World War II and then further served his country in the U.S. Air Force for the next 18 years. After retiring from the Air Force he taught industrial arts at Socastee High School for an additional 18 years and was loved and admired by his many students long after his retirement from teaching. He was a member of the Murrells Inlet VFW for many years. Glen was a doer, he always had to be busy working with his hands, whether it was creating something beautiful and lasting in his wood shop, or tinkering with any type of engine that wouldn’t work, Glen was happiest when he was working with his tools.
